Whenever the collection as evidenced by the treasurer's receipt has been entered upon the 
treasurer's collection register, and the books have been closed for the month, so that the 
treasurer cannot void the receipts issued for any check, draft, or money order received in 
payment of any tax, assessment, fee, or license, and unpaid, without disturbing the balances for 
the month, the county auditor, upon the application of the county treasurer, shall issue a refund 
voucher to balance such voided receipts, and such application is sufficient without the approval 
of any governing body or the state tax commissioner. The county treasurer, within twenty -four 
hours after the receipt of notice of nonpayment of credited items, shall make an entry in red ink 
on the tax list, or other record wherein credit has been entered, and likewise upon the collection 
register, and the receipt so voided. Such entry must be substantially as follows: "Receipt voided 
on account of bad check (or other instrument) and auditor's refund voucher No. ________ 
issued to balance".
